But who could be the next generation superstar for Great Britain? Riley Sharpe was the name on everyone's lips at the British Freeski and Snowboarding Championships, aka the Brits. And for good reason.

The 10-year-old snowboarder swept the board, winning the overall slopestyle and big air titles - beating some athletes more than twice his age. He also took home the under-16 rail jam trophy and the under-12 snowboard cross title. The last person under 12 to win a main title? That was Brookes, back in 2018, when she was 11. Still a teenager, she has gone on to become world champion, an X Games gold medallist and a World Cup overall crystal globe winner. The Brits were being held in Mayrhofen, Austria, after a six-year hiatus for the full event because of the coronavirus pandemic.

His father James told BBC Sport: "Riley amazes us every day with his hard work and dedication and it's great to see all that hard work pay off for him. "Thank you to the Brits for putting on the competition to enable the best talent in the UK to showcase themselves. We can't wait to see how Riley progresses in the sport." Sharpe has been snowboarding since the age of two - his ability soon became so evident that the family were advised to allow him to snowboard for a full season, rather than a week's holiday a year.

"We were told he had a gift and to give him a chance," James said, so they made the decision to support him and moved the family to France for the winter. "He excelled faster than anyone expected. He is obsessed with it," James added. He competed on the Swiss tour aged eight and won every competition in the under-11s category against other international snowboarders. This season, Sharpe claimed the under-12 title at the World Rookie Tour finals in Kaprun and is leading the Ziller Valley Rally - also in Austria - with one event to go. (BBC)
